    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    With its fragrant, refined red fruit, this a very open knit and inviting Brunate. Beautiful strawberry fruit melts in the mouth, wrapped in a textured, binding structure that is soft and caressing. A hint of sweet spice adds layer and complexity. As immediately alluring as this is, it does not give you everything straightaway, retaining a little magic and mystery, and drip feeding the palate with more flavours. This builds gradually into a very sophisticated wine, but one with the finest of touches. One of the great crus of Barolo, situated high up in the La Morra commune just underneath La Serra, with a south / south East exposure. Aged for two years in a mix of big and small barrels, light toast, French oak (15, 20, 30 and 35 HL sizes for the big barrels.)

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2017 Barolo Brunate is redolent of black cherry, menthol, lavender, rosemary and leather. The inward, brooding energy of Brunate is somewhat present, but the vineyard signatures aren't fully developed. The 2017 comes across as a sort of half wine, its there, but only partly there. Time and aeration only serve to accentuate the wine's modest structure and lack of complexity. The Brunate is still a very good wine, but I expect a lot more from Roberto Voerzio.
